Humidity and the risk of thunderstorms on the rise

Updated: 10 minutes ago

Not a fan of the heat? There’s a cold front coming. Right now it’s just north of Quebec City and it’s already triggering a few thunderstorms. As the front slowly sags southward, an area of steady rain will develop. Saturday’s rain will reach Newfoundland overnight into Sunday; highest rainfall totals will be over southeastern Newfoundland with as much as 50 mm by Monday afternoon. Bright but cooler weather returns behind the rain; it’s going to be a good week for outdoor painting.
